Cheeks always red! i'm on accutane for my 3rd/4th month and its not rosacea. i don't even shower with hot water, how can i calm down the redness ?

This is a side : Effect of accutane, check the information your doctor gave you when you started the medicine. Dryness will cause the redness, also redness from sun happens easier on accutane. There are some moisturizing creams that can be used to help this.

Depends: Accutane will worsen all forms of redness for up to 4-6 months after stopping. If the redness is same old then may not be related and needs different therapy. If new most likel from meds. Btw redness is the most difficult thng to affect. Check with a der.
